SANDY HOOK — Police have identified the body that washed ashore on the beach Friday afternoon as a West Orange man.

The body of Daniel Carroll, 62, came ashore on Beach D on the ocean side of the park amid rough surf churned up the remnants of Hurricane Michael.

There is no evidence that criminal activity was involved in his death, State Police Lt. Theodore Schafer said. The incident remains under investigation, but police say they won't know what caused Carroll's death until the results of an autopsy are released.

Schafer said Carroll's vehicle was found parked in the nearby Beach E lot.

Personnel from the National Park Service responded at about 1 p.m. after Carroll's body was discovered on the shoreline. Middletown police, the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office and State Police all responded to investigate. See a video of the scene at the top of this story.

The Middlesex County Regional Medical Examiner's Office took custody of the body to perform an autopsy.
